In addition to the visibility sharing provided natively by JIRA, the Add-on allows you to also share the ownership of a dashboard with other users. The principle is very simple:

  • Share the ownership of your dashboard with other users on the Edit and Share Dashboard screen.

  • Any user with whom you have shared ownership can become the dashboard's owner with only one click and can then make changes.

  • Any logged-in user can easily see a dashboard's details: the current owner and the co-owners, the description, and the permissions.

     

Taking ownership of a dashboard

Ownership of a dashboard can be taken only by users who respect two conditions:

  1. The user needs to have the 'Create Shared Objects' permission;

  2. The user must belong to all the group/project/role view shares.

In case ownership is shared with users who don’t respect any of these conditions, the invalid usernames are displayed stricken-through so that any issues are easy to notice. Hovering over such a user will show an explanation and highlight the missing permissions in red.
